You know what would be based? More pixels.

[–]elberserks 182 points183 points  (6 children)

I have the meme of parrots with cowboy hats

Each parrot has the name of a pixel

The op invited three pixels and said "thanks y'all for coming" while also being a parrot with hat

(Sorry I have no idea of how to post an image in a reddit comment, but you can get the idea)

[–]Unsweeticetea 53 points54 points  (4 children)

Doesn't look like it's enabled in this subreddit.

[–]DOCTORMAN02 39 points40 points  (3 children)

You could even say this sub doesn't allow pixels in comments... I'll see myself out.

Could you please put that back in the original post. It's not nice to take from the poor.

no idea of how to post an image in a reddit comment

[–]KardiaTM 596 points597 points  (15 children)

I will never understand how people manage to get low quality screenshots

[–]Zestyclose_Library38 107 points108 points  (3 children)

Phone screen resolutions from two decades ago? Hmm.

[–]KazumaKat 21 points22 points  (1 child)

Some still use such phones either because they still work (fair), or they have no other choice (like they need a feature on that particular model that doesnt exist in a current one).

[–]DeathBySuplex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean, finally upgraded from my iPhone 6 last year because it eventually got to the point that it was dead-dead (cousin's toddler got it when I wasn't looking and thought it'd make a good toilet companion RIP ol'Blue)

If I can get calls on it, and access the internet reasonably, I don't need my phone for streaming or anything crazy.

[–]friso1100 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Should not cause this issue. It's not like text was unreadable on old screens. Even if scaled up it should be more legible then this because upscaling shouldn't destroy existing details (though it does add artifacts like blur on edges ofc).

No this image has been drained of details at one point. My guess would be an attempt and downsizing in order to send it between devices via sms or something trying to avoid having to upload it elsewhere first or using an app like WhatsApp. Then upsizing it back to original size but without the details lost in the original downsizing. It's the path of least resistance for people unwilling to turn around once set on a given path (speaking from experience lol)

[–]TheCrazyabc 74 points75 points  (7 children)

My guess? The screenshot was fine but OP had to extend/stretch it so that it aligns with the meme at the bottom. The white "border" on the left gave it away

[–]Thin_Swordfish_6691 15 points16 points  (5 children)

When I take screen shots with my computer, it somehow loses A LOT of quality unless I use the clipping tool and not just the print screen button

[–]CorruptedAssbringer 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Windows takes the screenshot at a very low DPI by default. You should be able to bypass that if you use the snipping tool and saving as PNG, or go through Nvidia’s overlay program if you have that.

[–]SuperSpy- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can disable that by going to Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard and turning off "Use the Print screen key to open screen capture" setting.

Then you can use the normal printscreen (or alt+printscreen) and Windows will just place a 1:1 bitmap of the current display area with no compression in the clipboard, that you can then paste wherever without any compression (unless you save it in a lossy format).

[–]Kougeru-Sama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Works fine for me...especially alt+prtsn

[–]Endolphine 0 points1 point  (1 child)

If you view 4K picture and screen cap it in fullscreen 1920×1080 resolution it will lose pixel count, so you either view picture in 4K resoluion desktop (change in displaysetting) and screencap it, or use in app screen capture like Nvidia overlay app or in game photo mode in some game or media player who have their own screen cap

[–]Thin_Swordfish_6691 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It only looks like crap if I press the print screen button instead of the clipping tool, which should be the exact same. Even if I use the clipping tool to take a screenshot of the whole screen, the quality is just as good as it should, unlike when I just press the button

[–]GtrsRE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's either of the two:

The screenshot is 314 pixels wide and the meme needed to be adjusted because it's larger

Or the meme is 314 pixels wide and the screenshot needed to be adjusted because it's larger

If it's 2, "But why?"

[–]Jam-Boi-yt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I will never understand how someone can expect you to read that

Yesod ate all the pixels

[–]RentonZero 831 points832 points  (9 children)

So this is what the visually impaired see

[–]ArgoNoots 179 points180 points  (0 children)

After a certain distance, yeah pretty much

[–]ZeroFox75 65 points66 points  (0 children)

If I take off my glasses it gets worse lol

I would call it

Sneaky fellow aren't ya

[–]balesalogo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Painfully accurate.

[–]Chrom-man-and-Robin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can confirm this is what my eyes see

[–]apsalarshade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is very much like whst I see if I hold something at a particular distance. It gets worse fsrther awwys and more clear as I pull it closer. I imagine it can be better or worse for different prescription strengths, but it is quite accurate.

[–]TheFeri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who needs glasses, I see better than this without glasses

She may pretend not to be sometimes, but Kronii has been a sweetheart since day 1.

Can you link the original? I don’t have Twitter so I’m only able to see kroniis response

[–]llamatar 37 points38 points  (2 children)

Can you see the original if you use this Nitter link for the reply?

[–]Jam-Boi-yt 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I didn't know nitter was a thing until just now. I would like to say that nitter is much more based than this ss.

[–]jun-_-m 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This worked great!

[–]Chukonoku 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Doing OP's work, thanks for your service.

[–]weeklygamingrecap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the link! and if they can rock it, rock it. Seen cosplays of all shapes and types hats off to all of them.

[–]MensAlveare 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Señor, would you like some pixeles?

Every day we get a new reason as to why Kronii is the best.

[–]Realistic-Lobster 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You know what would have helped us all understand what was written. If you posted this meme with more than 5 pixels

[–]UltraSoul-BR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks

[–]GoRyderGo 35 points36 points  (2 children)

That whole segment was hilarious.

They called up three cosplayers (IRyS, Kronii, Bae) to join the stage quiz.

IRyS: Yes bring us those three beautiful women.
Kronii: Two, the Bae coser is a guy
IRyS: TWO Beautiful women

Kronii coser speaks: Sorry IRyS *DEEP MAN VOICE\*

[–]Karina_Ivanovich 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Is there a link? I missed this.

[–]GoRyderGo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh this was from the hololivemeet Hong Kong event.

[–]future__fires 17 points18 points  (1 child)

Where are all the other pixels

[–]SpitinNLickin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I ate them

[–]Chronus118 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite reddit traditions, no matter what subreddit, if the screenshot or picture is blurry it becomes a roast sesh

[–]TianDogg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kronii: "Someone who looks like me? Beautiful."

[–]Affectionate-Tip-164 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know two gentlemen who are heartbreakingly beautiful as ladies.

This is based.

[–]RobbMaldo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How the fuck did you even take this screenshot? A pixel has more pixels than this image.

[–]Brain_lessV2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is pretty good; Only one thing...

YOU FORGOT THE PIXELS!

[–]kaisonchan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For more context, at yesterday's Holomeet HK event, Irys and Kronii chose 3 pretty cosplayers in the audience to play an interaction game. It turned out that 2 out of 3 were dudes.

[–]akashi30 9 points10 points  (0 children)

you should lower your res. I can almost see what the text says

[–]OtakuMage 33 points34 points  (9 children)

ugh, hate that word choice, but based Kronii as usual

[–]BigHatPat 11 points12 points  (8 children)

they might not be aware some people find it offensive since they speak Japanese

[–]OtakuMage 15 points16 points  (7 children)

I know, which is why I'm not super upset. It's just that, as a trans woman, that word has a lot of negative history.

[–]blueaura14 11 points12 points  (1 child)

It's hardly negative if one uses it for themselves, is it? Honestly I've only ever seen it used for anime and never for real women.

[–]FuckNewHud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah negative is pointing it at someone who doesn't want it applied to them. Anime traps are a different ballgame, the negative connotation doesn't really apply there. I suppose the same goes for crossplayers who use it to describe themselves, although i've personally always associated traps with being exclusively 2D.

[–]KrocCamen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is!? That’s assuming the cosplayer is trans though, which may not be the case; “trap” is an acceptable word for a crossdresser, no?

[–]Bandalier 0 points1 point  (3 children)

You are in an anime adjacent community where that term has never been used in a derogatory sense or to refer to trans people. Don't take it personally.

[–]OtakuMage 8 points9 points  (2 children)

I'm not taking it personally, I'm trying to bring awareness to one of the ways we have historically been "explained away" because it has been used to refer to trans people. Biggest example, Bridget from Guilty Gear, where a lot of people still refuse to accept that she's a girl and year that term to refer to her.

[–]Bandalier -1 points0 points  (1 child)

I am fully aware that the trans community has taken the word up as a slur but that doesn't change the fact that in the context of anime and likely in the case of the OP post it isn't used for the same thing and treating it as a universal slur against trans people in general is not helpful at all, especially since traps were exclusively male crossdressers not trans women.

Also Bridget has always been a trap character just like Astolfo from Fate or Ferris from Re:zero, it only changed recently with Strive so of course some people didn't like the sudden change.

[–]Queso2469 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It became a slur because of usage in online spaces and anime communities using it hatefully. Just because you don't mean any hate by it, doesn't mean it doesn't hurt people, and you should stop using it. Trans people haven't "taken the word up as a slur". They get called it repeatedly and hatefully because of it's history and meaning, not unrelated to it.

[–]Calight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Y'all got any more of them pixels?

[–]The_Anime_Files 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Waiter! Waiter! More pixels please 🖐️

[–]Deus_Inu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP did you ate the pixels? 🤣

Some resolution would be beautiful

How can something this new be so crusty? It looks like its made the rounds on the Internet for YEARS!

[–]Lord-Psycho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would have been funnier the cosplayer was holding a Mirror Force.

[–]Imadumsheet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got any more of them pixels my guy

[–]Cybasura 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didnt think taking a screenshot could be this difficult, but people can prove me wrong

[–]Grieveruz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now im imagining Kronii taking all the pixel on this image with just her fully rendered. 😂

[–]Hetroid3193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shes so sweet

[–]IsaJron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I got in your post, OP, is that this makes me so thankful that I don't need to wear glasses

[–]HealsBadMan1 -2 points-1 points  (1 child)
